That's just the way I read it, unless, someone can point out something I'm not seeing.
I can point out plenty that I feel you are not seeing, based on the conclusions you are coming to. Doesn't mean you might agree with me though. Unfortunately the following turned out lengthier than I was hoping, and that I realize some people are sometimes turned off by lengthy posts. I know I am at times. So if you don't care to read through all of this, I understand.
Revelation 20:6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
This verse says----on such the second death hath no power. That is not said of anyone that is raised in the 2nd resurrection. The obvious conclusion seems to be, those who are raised in the 2nd resurrection, the 2nd death has power over them, otherwise they would have had part in the first resurrection instead.
John 5:29 And shall come forth; they that have done good, unto the resurrection of life; and they that have done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
2 resurrections in view here. A---the resurrection of life. B----the resurrection of damnation
Acts 24:15 And have hope toward God, which they themselves also allow, that there shall be a resurrection of the dead, both of the just and unjust.
2 resurrections in view here as well. A----resurrection of the just. B----resurrection of the unjust.
Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was given unto them: and I saw the souls of them that were beheaded for the witness of Jesus, and for the word of God, and which had not worshipped the beast, neither his image, neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands; and they lived and reigned with Christ a thousand years.
5-----This is the first resurrection.
6 Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.
The above, the first resurrection is meaning A, the resurrection of life, the resurrection of the just.
Revelation 20:5 But the rest of the dead lived not again until the thousand years were finished------
The above, the second resurrection is meaning B, the resurrection of damnation, the resurrection of the unjust.
That is referring to the great white throne judgment per Revelation 20:11-15.
And speaking of that judgment, let's take a look at the verses involved, but first let's take a look at the following.
1 Thessalonians 4:16 For the Lord himself shall descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel, and with the trump of God: and the dead in Christ shall rise first:
17 Then we which are alive and remain shall be caught up together with them in the clouds, to meet the Lord in the air: and so shall we ever be with the Lord.
1 Corinthians 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive.
23 But every man in his own order: Christ the firstfruits; afterward they that are Christ's at his coming.
1 Corinthians 15:51 Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed,
52 In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.
53 For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Let's start with this---even so in Christ shall all be made alive. Who is that referring to in context? afterward they that are Christ's at his coming---this for one. Who in the above passages would be meaning those at His coming? The following would be whom it is meaning---the dead in Christ who shall rise first----Then we which are alive and remain.
What happens to both groups once Christ comes? we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
Obviously that equals this----even so in Christ shall all be made alive----where in this context it is meaning changed from corruptible to incorruptible, which is the same as this mortal putting on immortality. Even those who remain and are still alive when Christ comes, has to also be changed, the fact they are still mortals until they, too, put on immortality at the last trump.
Now let's go back to Revelation 20.
Revelation 20:12
And I saw the dead, small and great, stand before God; and the books were opened: and another book was opened, which is the book of life: and
the dead were judged out of those things which were written in the books, according to their works.
13 And the sea gave up
the dead which were in it; and death and hell delivered up t
he dead which were in them: and they were judged every man according to their works.
No one but the dead at this judgment, obviously referring to the rest of the dead per Revelation 20:5. IOW, anyone that was not made alive at Christ's coming. No one made alive at Christ's coming could possibly be included in this judgment since that contradicts who all are at this judgment, meaning the dead.
